Sussex Cohousing is a group that aims to develop a cohousing project in or near Brighton, where most of us are based.
Cohousing communities are created and run by their residents. Each household has a self-contained home and the community shares some resources and activities. The site, social activities and governance are all designed to balance privacy with beneficial social interaction.
Sussex Cohousing envisage a life-enhancing community with the following characteristics:
-
15-35 households (each with their own front door)
-
a mix of flats, small houses and family houses
-
collaboratively managed by the residents
-
mixed tenure (such as rental / shared ownership / ownership – or equivalent)
-
shared resources including a common house for meeting, eating and pastimes
-
low environmental impact in construction, energy use and transport
-
of benefit to the local community
-
as accessible and affordable as is feasible
